Troubleshooting Tests

Dryer does not start or run

Perform the following checks in given order to identify the issue.
If fault found in any step, repair it:
1. Check if all wires are connected to their corresponding
terminals.
2. Check if dryer is plugged in.
3. Look for any blown fuse or circuit breaker.
4. Check if door switch is functional when door is closed.
5. Check if Star/Pause button and rotary selector dial are
functional.
6. Check if main PCB is functional.
7. Check if belt is slipped off or broken, or belt safety switch is
functional.

No
Does problem persist? Dryer is ready to use.

Yes

Check if drive motor is functional.

Is motor winding resistance in
range? (2.88 Ohms between pins

 Troubleshooting Tests 11

Not drying (gas model) - Poor gas ignition

When dryer is operated in a heat setting, the igniter is energized

at 120 VAC and flame appears in the burner within 45 seconds.
Failure of any component in this system is usually indicated by
one of the three symptoms given below:

1) Igniter does not spark

Turn off power supply.
Using an ohmmeter, check the following.

Does flame switch No

show continuity? Replace flame switch.
Yes Re
Check resistance of igniter. No
Is resistace in range? Replace igniter.

Yes
No
Does wiring show continuity? Replace harness.

Yes
